Theresa May is now free to reform university tuition fees after sacking two ministers who opposed her plans, says former top aide

Justine Greening spent two-and-a-half hours in talks with the PM on Monday 

The former Education Secretary resigned instead of accepting a new post 

Theresa May's former adviser Nick Timothy hailed Ms Greening's removal 

Mr Timothy accused Ms Greening of blocking reform of university tuition fees 

Prime Minister Theresa May will be able to reform university tuition fees after removing Justine Greening as Education secretary during this week's reshuffle. 

Ms Greening was the highest profile casualty of the reshuffle after she resigned from cabinet instead of taking the offer of a sideways move from Education to the Department of Work and Pensions. 

The PM's former Chief of Staff Nick Timothy claimed Ms Greening was blocking moves to reform university fees.
